Architect-Engineer Services are required for comprehensive energy conservation projects on Marine Corps and Navy Activities at various locations in California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Washington, Oregon, Montana, and Idaho for Southwest Division, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, San Diego, California. The engineering services required for energy conservation project development, comprehensive energy and water resource audits, and utility technical studies may include but are not limited to, verification, inspection, testing, evaluation, and analyses (engineering and economic) of building envelopes, building mechanical and electrical systems, utility distribution systems, and utility plants. Required services include: energy conservation project development and comprehensive energy and water resource audits. Incidental to the services is to identify and recommend the following: (1) No cost or low cost operating and maintenance efficiency improvements, (2) Energy Conservation Opportunities (ECO's), and (3) Development of these ECO's to Energy Conservation Projects (ECP's) for project implementation. ECO's are energy conservation opportunities that have less than ten (10) year simple payback period. Other requirements are Energy Conservation Investment Program (ECIP) and Energy Cost Avoidance Program (ECAP) documentation, life cycle cost analysis documentation, specifications for energy efficient equipment, specification of proposed equipment, energy savings calculation, construction cost estimate, sketches of architectural and engineering projects, digitization of existing maps, and Computer Aided Drafting to include utility systems mapping and single line diagrams for computer analysis. Design and construction phases may be required. The energy conservation project types include, but are not limited to, Energy Monitoring and Control System (EMCS) or Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Controls, Steam and Condensate Systems, Boiler Plant Modifications, HVAC, Weatherization, Lighting Systems, Energy Recovery Systems, Electrical Energy Systems, Renewable Energy Systems, Facility Energy Improvements (projects that do not fall into any other category), and Water Conservation. The length of the contract will be 365 days from the date of the contract award or until the $500,000 limit is reached. The Government has the option to extend this contract for an additional 365 days or until an additional $500,000 is reached. The A-E fee for any one project may not exceed 200,000.
